We'Ve Got To Tear These Fences Down Yeah! Poem by David Clinch

The higher they build their barriers
The stronger we'll become.
We've got to tear these fences down, yeah,
We've got to tear these fences down. X2 rpt

If you're standing on the outside
You'll be welcomed in.
We've got to tear these fences down, yeah,
We've got to tear these fences down. X2 rpt

Black and white unite and fight
Against the racist foe.
We've got to tear these fences down, yeah,
We've got to tear these fences down. X2 rpt

For the children of Soweto
Our memory will be strong.
We've got to tear these fences down, yeah,
We've got to tear these fences down. X2 rpt

All things they are in common,
All people they are one.
We've got to tear these fences down, yeah,
We've got to tear these fences down. X2 rpt

The ‘enemy within' strikes back,
In nineteen eighty-four
We've got to tear these fences down, yeah,
We've got to tear these fences down. X2 rpt

Come on and join the struggle now,
We need to organise.
We've got to tear these fences down, yeah,
We've got to tear these fences down. X2 rpt

The higher they build their barriers
The stronger we'll become.
We've got to tear these fences down, yeah,
We've got to tear these fences down. X5 rpt
